One day last week Ed. Carrigan,
the fast horse man of Kansas City,
and a double listed, overgrown, bur-
ly bull-dozer numerically whipped,
kicked and maltreated T. J. Mosier,
sporting editor of the Kansas City
Times, for a fancied wrong the Times
had done his brother, Pat Carrigan,
in using his name in connection with
a dog fight. The young man was
roughly and severely handled by
Carrisan, having his face stamped
into jelly and his jaw bone broken
twice. Having no relations in the
city the young man under the direc-
tion of the managers of the Times
was taken to the hospital where he
will receive the best of treatment.
In the meantime the Times has had
Carrigan arrested and from the plair
manner in which that paper talks, ed
itorially, the Jardine war has beer
raised on Carrigan and if the brute
is not put beneath the sod he will
wish he had never seen that reporte
Of heard tell of the Times. Ever,
paper in Kansas City has denounced
the act in the bitterest terms ant
shown Carrigan up in his true light
the ruffian that he is.

Low Caste of california ChInese.

The best proof of the low caste OF the
Chinese in California is afforded by their
faces. 1t is rare that one sees an intelli-
gent face with any signs of good breed
ing in stroll through tho Chinese quarter
of San Francisco. A few wholesale rner-
chants there are Of fine education, and the
consulate contains several Chinese OF
high rank. These men have regular feat
ures, a clean skin, and great dignity of
manner. In their rich silken dresses they
stalk through the crowds of unsavory COOL
les with an air that seems to say:
There are human swine whose touch
would defile the hem of our garments. y
In fact, there is no greater living per-
sonification of pride of station than tho
Chinese mandarin. With his strongly
marked features, his clear, pale, olive
skin, his intelligent eye, and his naughty
bearing, he presents the greatest contrast
to the meager, stunted frame, the fiat

bling old bacon, tho low, cunning express

Future uses OF Fire clav.

OF all building materials the first in its
fire resisting qualities is fire clay. This
material has become of late years an in
valuable adjunct to various classes of
buildings, and it is safe to say that the
near future viii see it used in a great
number Of directions now scarcely
dreamed of. In its various forms it can
be SO cheaply made and SO easily and in
eypensively applied that there is no ex-
cuse for the prevailing indifference to it.
It can be made in forms much lighter
than brick, and consequently can be used
in many cases where, for reasons of sup
port, brick wall is not possible. More
over, being made in hollow or porous
forms, its air cells make it an ideal non
conductor Of heat, and consequently an
excellent protection against coId.-Bos-

Conjugal Love Among Monkeys.

Very striking examples Of coniugal
love are found among certain monoga-
nous monkeys. 1t has been observed
especially in the American marnoset,
which, on the other hand, shows in the
case of the females a weakness of mater
nal feeling. The female Of this species
having become tired of holding her Off
spring, has been seen to call the male to
take care of it in his turn.
One of the marmosets Of the Jardin
des Plantes in Paris having died, the
husband was inconsolablc. He caressed
for a long time the corpse Of his COM
panion, and when lie was convinced Of
her death, he put Iis hand over his eyes
and remained motionless, without taking
food, until he succumbed himself. The
nacaque wanderoo also has only ore
female, and remains faithful to her until
death.-Hcnry Howard in Cosmopolitan.

Fish Hooks Made by N1achsnery.

In olden times the hook had to be ham
died many times before completed. First
the wire was cut to tho right length for
the size needed; then we cut the barb on,
and the next thing was to anneal the
hook, then forge it on drop press, next
shear it on the same press, then grind the
point, shape it, and after that eye or flute
1t. Then the hook was ready for tenn
pering. These were all done with hand
machines. came TO the conclusion that
it was slow process and invented the
machine have referred to abovb, which
combine all Of these hand machines into
one. am now at work on machine
expressly for trout hooks, and when COM
pleted It will turn out hooks at the rate
of 100 per minute. At the present we
make about $4,000 hooks per day, or O
total of 1000, 900 per year.
The method of the automatic patent
machine is about as follows: The wire is
taken from the coil the same as received
from the mill and run through q revolv-
ing Strengthening machine, composed of
pieces of steel screwed in zigzag shape,
which acts as friction on the wire and
straightens it. Then it is drawn ON to a
large wheel five feet in diameter (the pro-
cess being the same as winding cotton ON
spooD from the last end of the wire and
is taken and put into the machine by an
automatic feed by two rollers any length
you want Then it is sheared off, trans
ferTed and the eye is put on. 1t passes on
and the barb cutter puts the barb on; then
the forging dies take hold of it and flatten
the point out; it still travels on and the
chipping dies trim the blott off at an angle
which leaves ragged point. 1t still
travels further in the intricate machinery,
when the rotary mills take the rough edge
off the hook and then the other mills,
made V shape, file on the sides. After
that it is transferred to be shaped and
then it is hed.-Brooklyn Eagle.

JESSIE BENTON FREMONT.
Her Visit to the Old Lady who Once
Saved Her Life.

Saved Her Life.
When Jessie Benton was 3-year-old
child she was seized with violent attack
of Group while the Benton family was on
the way from Washington to st. Louis on
the National road. So violent was it that
the child father turned off the highway
into the nearest house, which happened
to be Mrs. Crugar's. The woman saved
the child's life and thus established a
claim to the attentions of the Benton
household whenever she was in Washing
ton. She was woman who had very
clear mind and was remarkably well
read, but was 'tsingularly without any
sympathies. F" When Mrs. Fremont was
at Wheeling with her husband in the
early days of the war she recalled the
woman who had performed such signal
service for her in her childhood, and to
her surprise learned upon inquiry that
Mrs. Crugar was still living, as clear
minded as ever, though quite 100 years
old. In a well built house of dressed
stone, very large and solid, with the
usual detached kitchen and long row of
negro quarters-all the roads and paths
leading to it lost in the unchecked growth
tirely alone, even the servants being
locked out at sunset.
Mrs. Fremont determined to visit her
and rode out to her house, accompanied
by the general and attended by a guard.
In large library, lined with books, she
found the old lady who had saved her life
as a baby, who still knew her perfectly
and all about her and why armed men
attended her on the visit. She had in her
hand a volume of the Spectator, -
which, she said, was writing she liked
her old books were the only kind she
cared for. Her dress like her books,
was old, but of the best, for she was care
fully arrayed in rich black satin, with
cap Of beautiful old yellowed lace, and
the inevitable false hair, dark, was
framed in with rich lace qIillings. Her
age told in the skin of her face and
hands, which was like crimped parch-
ment, but the lips were firm, and the
eyes deep set, in wrinkled lids, were still
dark and keen. Nor did she forget her
duties as hostess, and said it might please
s'the young people" to go up stairs-there
was ball room there, and they might
dance if they liked.
This ballroom turned out to be mu-
scum of the fashions from 1920 to 1910,
for Mrs. Crugar, like Queen Elizabeth,
had kept all her fine clothes. The walls
were hung with dresses of silk and satin
and velvet, mantles of queer, rich dam
ask, pelisses trimmed with fur, and
braided riding habits. In the closets were
bonnets of fine Leghorn and of tremen-
dous size, cashmere turbans embroidered
In gold, long wells of fine old English lace
and treasures of good lace in shawls and
capes, English Honiton, Mechlin or Brus-
sells. When one of the young officers put
his hand on pincushion it fell to pieces.
The old lady had seen none of these
things for more than quarter Of cent
ury, but she talked of the war and its in
evitable result, but without feeling and
apparently without sympatlies. Well
might any woman of fashion ask herself
if such life.was worth living, for what
Mrs. Crugar was fashion had made her.
